How to use Telnet to test SMTP communication
When you run the commands, replace these values with ones for your SMTP server, sourceDomain, etc.
Destination SMTP server: mail.smtpserver.com
Source domain: dev.prodDomain
Sender’s e-mail address: vinaychauhan@orgName.com
Recipient’s e-mail address: vipinchauhan@anotherOrgName.com
Message subject: Test Mail
Message body: This is a test message
(1) Open a Command Prompt window, type telnet, and then press Enter. This command opens the Telnet session.
(2) Type set localecho, and then press Enter. This optional command lets you view the characters as you type them, and it might be required for some SMTP servers.
(3) Type set logfile <filename>, and then press Enter.This optional command enables logging and specifies the log file for the Telnet session. If you only specify a file name, the log file is located in the current folder. If you specify a path and file name, the path needs to be on the local computer, and you might need to enter the path and file name in the Windows DOS 8.3 format (short name with no spaces). The path needs to exist, but the log file is created automatically.
(4) Type OPEN mail.smtpserver.com 25 and then press Enter.
(5) Type EHLO dev.prodDomain, and then press Enter.
(6) Type MAIL FROM:<vinaychauhan@orgName.com>, and then press Enter.
(7) Type RCPT TO:<vipinchauhan@anotherOrgName.com> NOTIFY=success,failure, and then press Enter. The optional NOTIFY command specifies the particular delivery status notification (DSN) messages (also known as bounce messages, nondelivery reports, or NDRs) that the SMTP is required to provide. In this example, you’re requesting a DSN message for successful or failed message delivery.
(8) Type DATA, and then press Enter.
(9) Type Subject: Test Mail, and then press Enter.
(10) Type This is a test message, and then press Enter.
(11) Type a period ( . ), and then press Enter.
(12) To disconnect from the SMTP server, type QUIT, and then press Enter.
(13) To close the Telnet session, type quit, and then press Enter.
Here’s what a successful session output using the steps above looks like:
C:\> telnet
Microsoft Telnet> set localecho
Microsoft Telnet> set logfile c:\TelnetLog.txt
Microsoft Telnet> OPEN mail.smtpserver.com 25
